I contacted Professional Resumes Australia after a friend recommended them, and it was one of the best decisions I made. … The Team were so supportive and knowledgeable about the changes and what to expect.
Emilie Coots really did a fantastic job with my resume. Professionally laid out and all according to the job specifications I requested. Highly recommend
Michaela and her team including Rebecca as my interview coach were incredible. I learnt so much on writing the perfect resume, cover letter, and how to best address selection criteria. In my one to one interview coaching with Rebecca, we did a mock interview that helped me orient myself for the real one and reduced my nerves significantly as I had an area expert who asked me a variety of questions before my final interview. With the help of the team, I received a job offer for my dream job! I am forever grateful for Professional Resumes Australia with their help and support during the process. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new role.
I’m super happy with my new resume and cover letter. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and all complete within the week. It’s made what can be a stressful time so much easier and I’ve already received an invitation to interview. Thank you!!
